Bringing Modern Style to a Living Room That Doubles as a Playpen

Hollis and Rob La Plante have called on Angleo Surmelis and the Rate My Space community on HGTV.com for help. They want to love their mid-century lounge room that currently serves as both an entertainment space and a playpen for their son Hunter. However, Hollis would like to bring in more style, perhaps with a sleek new sofa, and she wants to make the disappearing white fireplace more of a focal point. Meanwhile, all Rob asks for is a comfortable chair in which to watch football. Angelo's challenge is to strike a balance between modern style and the functional needs of the La Plante family.
